And GENESIS in 1978, where three people remained and opened up a new horizon. A new excavation is a live album where you can experience the best of the shows that have not been known until now.
It was “September 29, 1978 Pembroke Pines performance” that was imbued with such a work. It is the transcendental audience recording. The biggest point of this work is the super sound that is surprising, but the show itself is also an unexplored site that I could not hear before. First of all, let’s look back on the memorable history of 1978 when the legendary first visit to Japan and confirm the position of the show.

・ March 26-31: North America # 1a (4 performances)
“March 31st” … AND THEN THERE WERE THREE … “released”
・ April 1-22: North America # 1b (14 performances)
・ May 14-June 24: Europe # 1 (26 performances)
・ July 3-31: North America # 2 (20 performances)
・ August 20th-September 9th: Europe # 2 (10 performances)
・ September 29-October 22: North America # 3 (17 performances) ← ★ Coco ★
・ November 27-December 3: First visit to Japan (6 performances)

This is GENESIS in 1978. The Pembroke Pines performance of this work is the first day of “North America # 3” in a busy style of going to Europe and North America with a span of around 20 performances. It was a concert about two months before my first visit to Japan.
The recording of this show has not been known so far, but this time the prestigious “JEMS” has been newly excavated. I finally saw the light of day. It’s very happy in itself, but what’s surprising is the sound quality. This is the best recording with “super”. It also makes me want to line up with “super-super-super-…”. If the core is also very thick, the sense of distance is zero, and the sense of separation is enormous. To be clear, “official class”. No matter how much JEMS asserts, I want to say “Where is this guest record?”, And even if I listen while telling myself “It should be an audience”, I can not think “Is it the official outtake of the announcement?” No. It’s a perfect sound that you can’t convince yourself without repeating impossible delusions, such as “Maybe Millard went on a business trip to Florida …”.
Because it was such a transcendental sound, it was not a permanent storage press ……. Actually, the first four songs are incomplete versions that are not recorded. This time, there was only a show that the world listened to for the first time, and there was no other recording to complement it, so it was introduced from the Amity label with the thought of cutting the bowels. Of course, even though there are 4 songs less, it is a 2-disc set. Here, let’s organize the contents as well.

● Classics
・ Selling England by the Moon: The Cinema Show / I Know What I Like
・ Trick of the Tale: Squonk / Dance On A Volcano / Los Endos
・ Storm of Silence: One For The Vine / Afterglow
・ Others: Drum Duet
● And then there were three people left
・ Deep In The Motherlode / Say It’s Alright Joe / The Lady Lies / Follow You Follow Me

Approximately 84 minutes above. “Eleventh Earl of Mar,” “In the Cage,” “Burning Rope,” and “Ripples …” aren’t enough, but you can enjoy the legendary masterpieces that will be revived for the first time in Japan.
Anyway, with a transcendental sound that can only be called “official class”, you can enjoy the show that will be released for the first time in the world. It’s all about this. 1978 GENESIS was still progressive while striving for pop. A new excavation album with a different dimension sound that allows you to clearly enjoy the delicate ensemble from corner to corner. A shocking sound world that is too wasteful to miss with just one imperfect point. Please experience it to the fullest with this work.

★ A transcendental audience recording of “September 29, 1978 Pembroke Pines Performance”. It is a show where no recording has been known so far, but the prestigious “JEMS” has been newly discovered. Moreover, the sound is superb with “super”. To be clear, despite the audience, it is a transcendental expression that can only be described as “official class”. Unfortunately, the first four songs “Eleventh Earl of Mar”, “In the Cage”, “Burning Rope”, and “Ripples …” are not recorded, so they are incomplete. Still, you can enjoy the world premiere show with miraculous sound for about 84 minutes. It is a new recording of a miracle that revives the legendary first visit to Japan.

そして3人が残り、新たな地平を拓いた1978年のGENESIS。今まで知られてこなかったショウを超極上体験できるライヴアルバムが新発掘です。
 そんな本作に吹き込まれているのは「1978年9月29日ペンブロークパインズ公演」。その超絶級オーディエンス録音です。本作最大のポイントはド肝を抜くスーパー・サウンドにあるのですが、ショウ自体もこれまで聴けなかった秘境の現場でもある。まずは、伝説の初来日も思い出深い1978年の歩みを振り返ってショウのポジションを確かめてみましょう。
 
・3月26日ー31日:北米#1a(4公演)
《3月31日『…AND THEN THERE WERE THREE…』発売》
・4月1日ー22日:北米#1b(14公演)
・5月14日ー6月24日:欧州#1(26公演)
・7月3日ー31日:北米#2(20公演)
・8月20日ー9月9日:欧州#2(10公演)
・9月29日ー10月22日:北米#3(17公演) ←★ココ★
・11月27日ー12月3日:初来日(6公演)
 
 これが1978年のGENESIS。20公演前後のスパンで欧州と北米を行ったりする忙しないスタイルで、本作のペンブロークパインズ公演は「北米#3」の初日。初来日の約2ヶ月前にあたるコンサートでした。
 このショウはこれまで録音が知られてこなかったのですが、この度名門「JEMS」が新発掘。遂に日の目を見る事となりました。それ自体が非常にめでたいわけですが、驚きなのがサウンド・クオリティ。これが「超」付きの極上録音なのです。それも「超々々々々……」とズラズラと並べたくなる。芯も極太なら距離感はゼロだわ、セパレート感は絶大だわ……と細々語るのも面倒になる。ハッキリ言いまして「オフィシャル級」 。いくらJEMSが断言していても「これのどこが客録?」と言い返したくなり、「オーディエンスのはずだ」と自分に言い聞かせながら聴いても「やっぱり発表の公式アウトテイクでは?」と思わずにいられない。「もしかしてミラードがフロリダにまで出張したのでは……」など、あり得ない妄想を重ねないと自分を納得させられないパーフェクト・サウンドなのです。
 それほどまでの超絶サウンドなのですから、当然永久保存プレス化……とはなりませんでした。実は、冒頭4曲が録音漏れという不完全版なのです。今回、世界が初めて聴くショウだけあって補完しようにも他録音が存在せず、断腸の思いでAmityレーベルからのご紹介となったのです。もちろん、4曲少ないとは言っても2枚組。ここで、その内容も整理しておきましょう。
 
●クラシックス
・月影の騎士:The Cinema Show/I Know What I Like
・トリック・オブ・ザ・テイル:Squonk/Dance On A Volcano/Los Endos
・静寂の嵐:One For The Vine/Afterglow
・その他:Drum Duet
●そして3人が残った
・Deep In The Motherlode/Say It’s Alright Joe/The Lady Lies/Follow You Follow Me
 
 以上の約84分。「Eleventh Earl of Mar」「In the Cage」「Burning Rope」「Ripples…」が足りないわけですが、伝説の初来日も甦る名曲群が楽しめるわけです。
 とにもかくにも「公式級」としか言いようのない超絶サウンドで、全世界初公開となるショウを味わえる。これに尽きます。ポップ化に邁進しつつも、まだまだプログレッシヴだった1978年のGENESIS。その精緻なアンサンブルを隅から隅まで鮮明に味わえる異次元サウンドの新発掘アルバム。不完全の1点だけで聞き逃すにはあまりにも勿体ない衝撃の音世界。どうぞ、本作で存分にご体験ください。
